[QUOTE="newzapper, post: 748985, member: 368012"] The Peter Pan image is equipped with a number of different skins and I have chosen one that I like better than the default one. A lot of the functionality of a Dreambox is present in the firmware: Satellite tuner functions, network functions, PVR functions, timer functions, setup functions, and some more. One of the things that I miss in PP in contrast to Nabilo Darkstar is the presentation of the PVR and Timer functions. To me it looks like the PP team have done little to improve on that. That is one of the things developers often overlook; they may create well functioning software but they miss that all-important facet: Presentation. I have to squint at the screen when setting up a timer in PP on a 37" LCD tv; even on a 27" tube that was much, much better with Darkstar. It is possible to use a Dreambox without replacing the image - but the replacement images offer additional functionality like the use of softcams, and a lot of nifty addons. When the old Nabilo team still was alive, plenty of stuff to download was available at their download site; a click or two on one of the colour buttons was all it took. [/QUOTE]
